These "switches" are not managed switches which is what the pro means when he says switches. They are souped up hubs. > > Router is a 802.11b Wireless ADSL Router with 3 port switch built > in. again is the "switch" here a hub?. If it is a switch u would have three additional ip addresses - one for each i/o. If u really want some fancy control connect your hub/switch and router to four ethernet cards in a debian box and use the box to do all sorts of fancy filtering and bw managment. U could wire up ro reboot the 802.11 router to reboot automagically. -- rgds jtd -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
